The White House announced a $600 million security package for Ukraine, providing the Ukrainian military with another round of assistance during its ongoing counter-offensive against Russian forces.
The equipment will be drawn from existing US stocks and inventories, and it will include additional arms, ammunition and equipment, according to a statement from Secretary of State Antony Blinken. “Together with our Allies and partners, we are delivering the arms and equipment that Ukraine’s forces are utilizing so effectively as they continue their successful counter-offensive against Russia’s invasion,” said Blinken.
With winter coming, the US is also providing cold weather gear and more night vision devices. A week ago, the Pentagon announced another $675 million package, which included additional ammunition for the HIMARS, as well as tens of thousands of rounds of artillery ammunition. CNN has reported that the US, for now, has decided against sending long-range ATACMS ammunition to Ukraine for use with the HIMARS platform, despite repeated Ukrainian requests.
